- Codeview Compatible Display Adapter Patch
-
- ################################################
-
-
-
-
- The purpose of this patch is to fix a problem that may appear when
- running Codeview in window mode on certain IBM EGA compatible display
- adapters. The major symptom of this problem is unusual colors for the
- display when Codeview is started in window mode. If you are having
- problems getting the correct colors using Codeview on a compatible
- display adapter follow these steps to patch a BACKUP COPY of Codeview:
-
- 1) Put the Fixdisk that you received with this application note into the
- A: drive.
-
- 2) Copy CV.EXE to the A: drive.
-
- 3) Make sure that DEBUG.EXE can be found on your path.
-
- 4) Move to the A: drive.
-
- 5) Run EGAFIX.BAT for version 1.0 or EGAFIX11.BAT for version 1.1
-
-
- After you have run EGAFIX you will have a modified CV.EXE on the Fixdisk
- as well as a file CVOLD.EXE which is an unmodified version and should be
- saved on a disk to be used as a backup.
-
-
- If after applying this patch, your display does not display the correct colors
- there are other hardware incompatibilities and it will be necessary for you
- to run Codeview in sequential mode (/T).

- Codeview Sperry/Corona Patch
-
- ################################################
-
-
-
-
- The purpose of this patch is to correct video hardware differences that
- exist with certain Sperry computers when running Codeview in window mode.
-
-
- ******Use this patch only if the display of your Sperry computer blanks out
- and the machine hangs when you invoke Codeview. It is not required for all
- Sperry computers. If the display on your Sperry computer does not blank out
- but your machine hangs, use the /M switch (disable the mouse) when you
- invoke Codeview.
-
- 1) Put the Fixdisk that you received with this application note into the
- A: drive.
-
- 2) Copy CV.EXE to the A: drive.
-
- 3) Make sure that DEBUG.EXE can be found on your path.
-
- 4) Move to the A: drive.
-
- 5) Run SPFIX.BAT
-
- After you have run SPFIX.BAT you will have a modified CV.EXE on the Fixdisk
- as well as a file CVOLD.EXE which is an unmodified version and should be
- saved on a disk and used as a backup.
-
-
- If after having applied this patch, you continue to get a blank screen and
- the machine hangs, it will be necessary for you to run Codeview in
- sequential mode (/T).
-

-
- Codeview/Int 1A Patch
-
- ################################################
-
-
- The purpose of this patch is to correct a problem that exists on machines
- that do not support interrupt 1A (read the real time clock). Two machines
- that do not support this are the HP 150 and Apricot XEN. A symptom of this
- problem is Codeview hanging when invoking the Execute command from the Run
- menu.
-
- If you have an HP150 or an Apricot XEN and are experiencing problems carry
- out these instructions:
-
-
- 1) Put the Fixdisk that you received with this application note into the
- A: drive.
-
- 2) Copy CV.EXE to the A: drive.
-
- 3) Make sure that DEBUG.EXE can be found on your path.
-
- 4) Move to the A: drive.
-
- 3) Run INTFIX.BAT
-
- After you have run INTFIX.BAT you will have a modified CV.EXE on the Fixdisk
- as well as a file CVOLD.EXE which is an unmodified version and should be saved
- on a disk and used as a backup.
-
-
- After you perform this patch you will need to invoke CodeView as follows:
-
- cv /D /M /T sieve.exe
-
- This combination of switches tells Codeview to:
-
- a) disable IBM specific instructions (/D)
- b) disable the Apricot mouse which is not Microsoft mouse compatible (/M)
- c) run in sequential (non IBM compatible) mode (/T).
